I think you are right when you say "Partly". I have had Restless Leg
Syndrome for at least 7 years. This is not the same as leg cramps.
They happen after I have begun relaxing to sleep, and my brain has
quieted to a point where I can sleep, and then they start. It feels
as if there is something crawling up my veins from my feet up to my
hips. After it reaches my hips, there is a violent jerk that I can't
control. Since I am about half asleep, they shake me into
wakefulness. There is an interval of about 15-30 seconds before the
next one begins, and sometimes I am not conscious during that
interval.
I did some research a while back. At that point, the medical
community had found no cause nor cure for this. The only treatment
was taking sleeping pills. (Nothing to fight the cause, just the
symptoms.) I didn't want to take sleeping pills, so I tried every
painkiller on the market. I have also tried potassium, but that
didn't seem to help. I believe it helps with cramps, but not with
the restless leg syndrome. I will go look later and see if there is
anything new on this.
Since I became interested in K and found this list, I have changed my
attempts at handling this. Instead of taking a painkiller, I do
Reiki while relaxing and surrendering to the flow of the energy up my
legs. I don't try to stop the jerks anymore. Since I've been doing
this, the episodes only seem to last for 5 or 10 minutes before I am
asleep. In the past, I would be in a state of half-sleep for what
seemed like hours, constantly being jerked awake again. I have these
2 or 3 nights in a row, around once a month or so.
I will let you know if I find anything new about this in the medical
sites. I appreciate any feedback from you all!
Thank you all for your postings! I am learning so much!
